Requirements to become a foster parent
Many do not realize the need for new resource families in California. The number of foster kids outnumber the foster families who can provide short or long-term care. Foster advocates work hard to find places for these children, but it is not easy.
The latest 2021 report from the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System (AFCARS) report in California says there are:
- 47,871 kids in California's foster care system
- 22,892 who entered foster care
- 15,386 foster kids awaiting adoption
- California foster kids across all ages, with a median of 8 years
- 33% whose foster child case plans include adoption
A child's median time in the California foster care system is over a year at 16.8 months. 13% spend 3-4 years in foster care.
California needs foster parents to take in multiple children if they have the time and energy to care for them. Sibling groups often need care, and it is essential to support these family bonds. In California, it is challenging to find homes for teenagers, though they need stable environments and reliable adults to support them.

I was young. I changed mind within 2 weeks of the adoption and was told that they haven't ever lost a court case EVER! That if I wanted to try, I would lose everything I owned, my parents would too, and my grandparents would as well! 31 years ago, I'm still heartbroken 💔

This agency should check their facts before they send information to adopted adults. Check your facts and then re-check them! What you are doing hurts people. You are in the wrong business.
